World of Darkness News has a statement from World of Darkness producer Chris McDonough responding to news of layoffs at CCP and the resulting "significantly reduced team" for the MMORPG:

Hey Guys, sorry I haven't read all of the posts, been a long day and out buying drinks for some folks who are departing. Just wanted to say, this is not the end of World of Darkness, far from it. It is also not vapor ware, as we have been doihng playtests for a while. I have been involved in all of the descisions made surrounding this project and the current situation. I am also in charge of rallying the teams come Monday to refocus our efforts on getting this thing in shape. This is a tough spot, but I can promise you, we still have plenty of guys on staff.

'Well, that's great...that's fuckin' great, man! Now what the fuck are we supposed to do?! We're in some real pretty shit now, man!!....That's it, man, game over, man, GAME OVER! What the fuck we gonna do now?! Whatta we gonna do?!?"

"Maybe we can build a fire...sing a couple of songs, huh?! Why don't we try that?!"

'Now, we gave you a promise and we are bound by that promise and damn you for asking for it! And damn me for agreeing to it! And damn all of us to Hell because that is exactly where we're going!'
